Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

Published

Hello all. just reading different threads and wondering what does the starting salary look like for a grad nurse? i live the in Atlanta area so any ball park figure will do. thanks!

I'm starting at $30/hr here in Southern California. It really depends on the hospital and shift you choose to work. I've was also offered a new grad position starting at $23/hr, but obviously chose to go for $30 !

hello there!!! I live in Temecula, do you have any idea what the starting pay is in my area? I would appreciate any info. because I have no idea :( Thanks!!!

p.s. I was thinking about working at San Diego Children's hospital because I think the pay would be more than in Temecula/Murrieta

Ouch I would feel insulted if somone offered me that. NJ has higher living costs that we do here in CA and they pay you 10 less a hour, *********

Wow, CA pays 37.25 to a new RN with no experience to start? FYI, When reviewing figures from 2007, Jersey has a lower cost of living than CA.:nurse:

yep, sometimes even more than that. I am talking about in the valley, San Fran may be higher but the valley is much lower than NJ.

From what I have been researching, CA has really low pay rate! It seems the only places to get good pay like $37-$47, are like San Fran where the cost of living is ridiculously expensive. I could be wrong, this is just what I have been hearing from actual RN's in my area (Temecula, San Diego)

I live in Texas, and the salary ranges from $21-$25 for full time. Benefits and shift differentials not included in that number. You should take cost of living into account when looking at the salaries people have listed. For example cost of living here is significantly less compared to say California, therefore it makes sense that they pay more there but you have to make sure that the difference makes up for the difference in cost of living.
